In that case, would you (or Luc) also agree with describing "specializationOf(e1,e2)" as "e1 and e2 describe the same thing, and e1 is more detailed/specific than e2"? The concern I have about specalizationOf is that it is about the descriptions, not the described things. I can rationalize alternateOf as saying that "e1 and e2 refer to the same thing", which is almost what Luc wrote, but to rationalize specializationOf I need e1 and e2 to refer to descriptions, not things themselves. (I think it is this distinction that is one of the root causes of confusion here.) --James On Jan 16, 2012, at 4:06 PM, Paolo Missier wrote: > thing (we just crossed in the mail) > -Paolo > > On 1/16/12 4:03 PM, Luc Moreau wrote: >> Hi James, >> >> >> To add on to this, did we really mean >> >> e1 and e2 provide two different characterization of the same entity >> >> or did we mean >> >> e1 and e2 provide two different characterization of the same THING? >> >> Luc >> > > > -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
